One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had been on Kendo club for over 10 years, which is one of Japanese martial arts like Samurai, before I entered university. One amazing thing I have done is that I got first place in successive three prefecture tournaments. I already quit it though lol

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to share my favorite proverb, "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, it goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, it goes to his heart." It impressed me a lot and because one of my dream is to be a polyglot I am now learning 6 languages. So please teach me your language!! And I can teach you Japanese if you want.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to make friends around the world and know your country and also your dream. So I am really looking forward to seeing and talking with you.
